hi xbl, i've a running version of chimera built from the chimera svn source with scipy 0.13.1 included in ../foreign/scipy. unfortunatly this build only runs on scientific linux 6.4 because of (my builds?) library incompabilities with ubuntu. e.g. when starting my distribution version on ubuntu (i cannot install development stuff on this server) from numpy.linalg import lapack_lite ImportError: liblapack.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory this is the main problem since scipy depends on numpy and numpy can be compiled with various different optimizing libraries e.g. blas, atlas, ... (.numpy-site.cfg?). in addition scipy has a lot of native code (e.g. fortran). i'm not aware how this will be handled by the chimera python installer as in the previous message. so if you have a sl6.4, i can build you an installable version with scipy. or if you have a developer at hand, i can give you the source patches to the current chimera svn version to build your own chimera distribution. fyi: the following files have to be patched mk/foreign.make foreign/GNUmakefile new files: foreign/scipy/GNUmakefile foreign/scipy/scipy-0.13.1.tar.gz (original download from the scipy website) cheers, wolfgang On 12/04/2013 03:57 AM, Tom Goddard wrote:

Since Chimera includes its own Python to ensure version compatibility with the dozens of compiled Python modules it uses, you need to install Scipy into the Chimera Python. This means you can't install a binary distribution with "sudo apt-get …". Instead you need to get the Scipy source code and build it specifically for the Chimera version of Python. This is a pain. I have not tried installing Scipy in Chimera so I don't know how many problems you will encounter.

Hello,
I want to use scipy with Chimera because the QR factorization in numpy does not give a square Q matrix.
However, Chimera does not allow scipy to be imported. The only discussion of scipy I see is a post where you talk about prebuilding Scipy. These instructions are not helpful as I do not know where to set these variables. Can you provide me some more detailed instructions on how to use scipy with Chimera.
I am using Ubuntu linux.
Best,
